You did see that McCain had the same allegation raised against him and he disclosed what was necessary to disprove the allegation?
The fact that McCain chose to do so in no way proves he was required to do so.
Logic would dictate that if one has to be a native-born U.S. citizen, they can be asked to prove that prior to their election, and proof must be supplied on demand.
No. In a legal action, the party making the claim first has the proof of going forward. Then the party defending the action may or may not have the burden to rebut.
As such, there is a good chance than anyone claiming Obama isn't eligible would first be required to make a legally sufficient showing of (for lack of better term) probable cause that Obama isn't a natural citizen. To date, no one's made that showing.
